From its humble beginnings playing to 50 people under an arch in Southwark, The Pirates are preparing for their voyage across the sea. Ahoy boys!
Sasha's All-Male Pirates started a 4-week run at The Union Theatre back in 2009. The 50-seater venue she established back in 1997, set under a railway arch in Southwark, had been growing from strength to strength. Pirates received rave reviews "pure joy," "an irresistible delight," "as brilliant and heretical as Matthew Bourne's vision of Swan Lake."
in the spring of 2010 the production moved to the oldest surviving music hall in the world, the magnificent 300-seater Wilton's Music Hall where it ran to full houses for six weeks. Suddenly there was a huge amount of interest in this innovative production. We were invited, off the back of Wiltons, to play the 900-seater Rose Theatre in Kingston for a fortnight.
Little did we know that in the audience were representatives from Australia and The United States. Following a lot of to-ing and fro-ing Pirates hit Hackney Empire for a week at the end of September 2012 before embarking on a national tour of Australia playing Canberra, Mount Gambier, Renmark, Perth, Wollongong, selling out in Adelaide and Cate Blanchett's Sydney Theatre, where it played the main house for three-weeks. The feedback was fantastic.
All Male Shows including The Pirates of Penance HMS Pinafore , The Mikado , Iolanthe
